Also, I realised, the day after payday! So I celebrated with a walk in the sunshine to Arloe and Moe, where I enjoyed their excellent coffee and some 'sexy toast' (avo and feta: it works just ever so well); this spun into a long break, reading my book, drinking coffee, feeling the sun through the window beating into my bones.
Then onwards for MORE pay day treats: the market! Here is my haul, all for under ten pounds, I think.
Those are field mushrooms to be fried with butter and garlic and put on toast, for breakfast. There were organic hens eggs for the pantry - and, very likely, to make a week night, working-girl carbonara with.
Pears, eating apples and Bramleys for porridge, stewing, making into crumble, lunchboxes - anything else? The carrots are destined for a winter stew with lamb and rosemary, or a warming chickpea and chorizo version, and the cauli... well the cauliflower could just be steamed and eaten as is. Or its modesty semi-covered by a blanket of cheese sauce. I could rhapsodise all night about King Cauli's clean flavour and grainy florettes.

Cauliflower is one of my favourite vegetables.
